Final edit documenting the days events organised by the people of St.Agnes in Cornwall, UK on May 1st 2005. The locals dress up and perform a staged annual show on the cliffs near the town at Chapel Porth to relay a story about the giant 'Big Bad Bolster'. Legend tells he stalked the area and ate the locals. This footage was originallly filmed for Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane's Folk Archive. This edit was put together by Matt Redman and burnt to DVD for the folk of St.Agnes and organisers of the event for keepsake and thanks. The Bolster story itself is copyright to the St.Agnes Bolster Committee.
